a wire hanger.

I won a giveaway not too long ago and the prize was a print and this bag (awesome tote!) from pure and noble. I don't usually have frames laying around and I really wanted to get this dress print put up in the girls room, so I decided to give something a try.

I grabbed a wire hanger, some rouge yarn and crocheted sc's around it. This was my first time crocheting around a hanger and it will probably be my last time. It was the most annoying crochet I've ever done! I almost stopped half way through. I'm glad I pushed through and finished, I love the end result!

After I was done, I grabbed some clothespins and used them to hold the print to the hanger. I absolutely love the way this looks, I'm not even going to bother getting a frame anymore!

... but I still will NOT crochet around a hanger again!

PS. there's still time to enter my mandala giveaway, it's open until Monday. Have a great weekend everyone!

Thank goodness you pushed through. Look at how cool it is! I have MANY projects that I started and gave up. Most of them I've finished, the others? Well... they're either collecting dust or has been ripped apart and transformed into something else.

It looks great!When you said it was hard to do, I thought, how hard could it be? So I tried it. Like you, I don't think I'll ever do it again. The hand-cramping from working around a non-flexible object, and the multiple times I got poked in the face made up my mind.But I like the way mine looks, too.
